Hanging by the lilly pads

Hi you'll,

A few weeks ago I got some pics of the Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks and their ducklings

NIKON D2H    ---    500mm    f/5.0    1/640s    ISO 400

 

Thanks Mike. Its nice when they know just where to waddle to. :biggrin:

 

Glad you liked it Leigh

 

Thanks Gordon. They were having ducky fun as they were constantly diving for and eating food.

 

Hey Kevin,

They are extremely cute and a lot of fun to watch since they are in constant motion.

 

Thanks Frank. They are doing better than last year's group. Last year we started out with 2 parents and 12 ducklings and at the end there was only one parent and one duckling surviving. So far we started out with 24 ducklings and we are holding steady at 9.

 

Thank you very much Angelo.

 

Thanks very much Don. They are a lot of fun to watch. My wife who is a non-birder and non-shooter makes me take her down to the wetlands just so she can see these guys do their stuff.

 

Thanks James
